Hello! Today, we're featuring one of our newest discoveries in Cavite - Cafe Juan Miguel. 😊 It was my sister who introduced this spot to me and when I had the taste of their spring rolls, I fell in love with it right away. Just enough reason to share their foodie goodness on my blog. Yay!

CJM, Entrance

During our time of visit though, my fave Spring Roll was not available - a reason to come back. Yes? Definitely! We even had our to go pastas (snap below). 🍝

Staff were very nice. The place is cozy. You can chill with your friends, have a great chit-chat while indulging with good food. As I always say, almost everything is a best seller. Can't wait to try them all. Katakawan at its finest. Haha! They do accept reservations, too- for casual meals, private functions and on site catering. The place can accommodate 70 pax max. They have set menus ranging from PHP200/head to PHP400/head depending on your preference. Inquiring is the key. Go, give it a go!

Hi, Tibzi.

Hello! Finally, I found Pastora Pancit Palabok in Quinta Market, Quiapo Manila. I have been trying to go and look for their spot since 2017 (see my previous Pancit Malabon post). Thanks to my friend and kumare, Teng for accompanying me! 💜

the legendary Pastora Pancit Palabok @ PHP60

More than 30 years of Palabok godness, Pastora's stall in Quiapo is the only one that we have in the country. They have been featured in different TV shows and in a lot of blogs and newspapers but they still remain in their humble Quinta Market abode. Kuya said that their rent for the spot is P500/day. Sounds cheap, right? Or no? They have been offered to branch out but they opted to stay in Quiapo. Who knows, konting pilit pa? 😋

When I had the chance to have a taste of Pastora's, I knew I had to put in on my blog. Thanks, Wilmae for bringing it in the office! It took me forever to post, but better late than never! 😊

Their sauce does not have any shrimp content, so it's good for those who are allergic to it. Fatty Chicharon (pork crackling), tofu in achuete (annatto seeds), squid and hard boiled eggs are the toppings that their noodle has. Quite sinful, but sinful is good in moderation. Yes? And this legendary palabok costs PHP60 only. Try it! 😋

Hello! 😘How's everyone? So, today, I decided to finally publish another blog.The Black Apartment post has been sitting in my drafts for a while, but better late than never, right? Here we go!

I joined my sister and her friends to go and try TBA. I knew someone from there (Hi, Marc) but he manages the Imus Branch but still, I sent him a message. And there, he called the Pag-asa Branch to have our seats reserved. We were like 12, more or less at that time.

That's Tibzi right there - TBA, Pagasa Branch

How was our stay at TBA? Ang saya! Ang tagal namin dun! Haha! We started around 6PM and closed na kaya umalis na kami. Haha! I guess, that explains. One of the kids, si Basty, had two rounds of Smores Milkshake. Almost all of us tried different burgers, two of Ate's friends, I guess ate a rice meal. We tried their chicken wings, too. Masarap? Nag take-out pa ko! Haha!

Congrats, TBA. I read your Facebook Profile and am happy that the business which started with group of friends just hanging out has two branches already. Love your burgers, the concept and I can say that this place is one of the ultimate hang-out for Cavite folks. Have some snaps to share. See below and try 'em!

Recently, Samgyeopsal has been the "in" thing when it comes to Korean food trip here in Manila. And why not? It's so delish! Romantic Baboy is one of the famous go-to unlimited Samgyeop for Pinoys. Finally, it has reached Cavite! Yey!

But if you opt not to do the unli samgyeop, pwede din naman. Here's their menu for that:

Menu

PROS:
1. Price is very affordable. Just make sure to come in hungry! Eat 'til you fart! LOL
2. Cheesy!!!
3. Staff were okay. There was this girl who's proactive enough - thank you!
4. If you love KPop, this is the place. They play KPop songs until closing. Hehe.
5. Their comfort room has bidet! Yaas!

CONS:
1. The music too loud. For a Tita like me, hmm, medyo ekis yun. Hehe. Good thing is, you can ask them to lower the volume.

I have been addicted to Milk Tea and I've tried different Milk Tea Places already. Today, am featuring one of them - Coco Fresh Tea & Juice.

My Coco Milk Tea Fix, Megamall

Word of mouth is really powerful. I have learned about this tea thru Mikee. He said the long line is worth the wait. So, I checked Google to search where's the nearest CoCo! Back then, Coco - Megamall doesn't exist yet. So I had to wait. But when I had a staycation somewhere in Intramuros, my friend and I went to The Lucky Chinatown Mall (my first time) and to my surprise, CoCo has it's branch there! 😄 So, eventhough we already had a Large Milk Tea from another Milk Tea Place, my friend and I lined up to try CoCo. Indeed, the long line was worth the wait. Cravings solved! 😋

bottleneck at Coco Milk Tea - Chinatown Mall!!!

The Lucky Chinatown Queue

CoCo is very generous with their sinkers. Grabe! And their Large Cup looks like its really large. Haha! And it's really not that expensive. Your PHP100 is sulit! It's creamy as it has the perfect blend of cream, tea and sugar. Since I wanted to experience CoCo, I did not adjust sugar levels at all. And even at 100%, you can still taste the tea flavor. See, nothings compromised! Sarap!

Honey Lemon w Aloe & 3 Buddies

When CoCo Megamall finally opened, went there around 10:15a and there are already people in queue. During that time, the person on the cashier is also the person mixing the drinks, so it's taking a while. But everyone is so patient - no one was pissed. Haha. Oh CoCo what did you do to us?!
